Dear Pastor,
I have a problem that has been bothering me for a long time. I am 21-years-old. I am with a guy that I love very much and I can see that he loves me too. He is my first boyfriend and I hope that he is the last. I want to spend the rest of my life with him. We have so much to live for, but something is missing and that one thing is what he wants more than anything else in the world.
It seems like I can't get pregnant. We have been trying so hard and for so long. I even went to the doctor and he gave me some pills, but it didn't work. I am so scared.
My boyfriend gives me anything I ask him for and the one thing that his heart desires most it seems like I can't give it to him. My life is so tormented without a child. I don't know what to do. Please give me your advice.

Dear ,
Do you believe that you are less of a woman because you have not gotten pregnant? And why do you believe that the problem is with you? Has he gone to the doctor to check himself out?
You are only 21-years-old, why are you in such a hurry to get pregnant? If this man loves you so much, why doesn't he make you his wife first and then try to impregnate you?
Cool yourself, my dear lady. You are still very young. If you need a family, tell this man to marry you.
Pastor
